The Journey to the Valley

11 I went down to the orchard of the walnut trees
    to look at the blossoms of the valley,

    in a chariot of my princely people.[b]

The Loved One

11 I went down to the walnut orchard,

    whether the pomegranates had blossomed.
12 Before I knew it,[a] I imagined myself
    among the chariots of my noble people.[b]
